Motorcycle Thief vs. Bike Locks - Which is Best?

Motorcycle locks promise a lot but do they actually deliver? Our in-house motorcycle thief goes all out using lock picks, snips, bolt cutters and angle grinders in a bid to nick the precious YZ50. Here’s what happened…

The best combination is to have a heavy chain which locks a wheel to a firm point and an alarmed disk-block on the other wheel. So both wheels are blocked, the bike can't be lifted on a van and as soon as a thief tries to cut anything, that alarm is going to set off.

[@JCDenton3]

[@ConnorBP]

It's also important to mention that it is only secure as what you actually lock it to. And park in a place where someone may be deterred from using an angle grinder a little more (ie, street parking vs underground). Also the best defense is actually to have it hidden from view (have your rain cover packed with you or park it behind a friends car) because if a thief sees a Ducati, and and something they don't know is actually a custom race bike, they will more likely just steal that poor other fellas Ducati.

[@jort93z]

It isn't really just that they don't know it is a custom race bike. Even if they knew, the ducati would probably be smarter to steal. They either take them apart and sell the parts, or in some cases forge new documents for them. Something like a custom race bike, they couldn't actually sell to anyone.

"Hidden from view" is a double-edged sword if you mean it literally. A hidden bike is a bike that has nobody around to notice it's being stolen. Look to pedal bicycles where there's strength in numbers-if your bike is surrounded by 99 other bikes, that's a 1% chance that your bike is going to get stolen. Not to mention, nobody cares more for other bikers than bikers themselves.

Most galling example of this I saw was a guy in the UK who had his custom Nissan Skyline taken from his front driveway, through a locked metal gate.

This was not an insecure car or location, or a crappy neighbourhood. I still wonder what their setup/social cover would've been to get away with it - I'm assuming they went full audacity, hi-vis, fake business liveries, all that.

[@trollofire96]

@@ruyveng I agree, for the most part a good chain will deter the opportunist thief. Which is probably a large amount of thieves. But what I'm trying to get at is that there's more than one way through a chain/lock apart from through its strongest link. Logically speaking you would want to target the weakest link in a chain and I'm betting that not all the people who watch lockpick lawyer have good intentions.

[@ruyveng]

@@trollofire96 True. I read somewhere that it's not so much about protecting your bike, as it is to discourage the thief and make him choose a less protected bike around ;) Kryptonite locks require more time to pick, and their chains more time to cut. It'll make the thief look for easier target. Of course, everything is pickable, but the question is how long it'll take ;)

What I'm getting here is that the best theft security is a GPS tracker hidden in the chassis and then a really good insurance policy.

[@drnapalm7605]

and a bat if you are fortunate to catch them

[@lmaoroflcopter]

The best security is the thing you use. You could go out and buy an almax big boy chain, but if its sitting at home in your garage when you're bike gets nicked from the shops, it's 0% effective. If your bike has any lock on it at all, that in itself is a deterrent. If it's causing a thief to use a noisy tool, again that deters some and stands a chance of alerting you.

[@Jehty21]

What's the point of the GPS if you have good insurance? Isn't the point of good insurance that they pay if your bike gets stolen? So what's the GPS for?

As I just learned today, also remember that if you have a chain with a fiber covering, make sure you do not loop it around any part of the exhaust if you are then going to run the motorcycle for troubleshooting. Mine started smoking very bad, and a large chunk of the coating melted onto the exhaust. Luckily the chain itself wasn't hurt at all of course, and the remnants of the coating did very quickly melt off of the pipe. Still scary when I first saw the smoke billowing, though.

The problem with both D and Disc locks is that they do not tie the bike down. it deters opportunists who intend to roll or ride the bike away, but nothing more than that. Any sort of semi-organised bike theft is not so much about the bike itself, as it is about taking it apart and selling in parts, then cut up the frame and sell it for scrap. They roll up in a van, lift the bike up into the back, and drive off into the night and straight for the border. By the time you realise what has happened, they are 800km away.

quackerzdb work fine but the way a thief thinks isn’t necessarily in terms of value of a motorcycle. It’s risk vs reward. The less risk the greater the reward generally speaking. If you’ve got your 2020 Harley bolted to the ground with 50 chains it’s less likely to be stolen than the ninja 250 next to it with the key hanging from the ignition. The more complicated you make it the better off you are usually

[@jseden]

With recent increased theft in my area, I decided to up my security last weekend.. I went from using a single U lock (front wheel to bike rack), to a heavier U lock in that position. I now put the second U lock through the front wheel and forks, along with a heavy cable through the fork lock and bike rack. This means a smart theif would have to get through two heavy U locks.. if one only managed to get through the main one (which is rather awkward to reach) and the cable, they'd be left with a bike that cannot roll (steering locked as well). Ontop of the annoying mix of locks, I've also installed an alarm which is sure to start chirping as soon as someone tries to mess with it. When you consider that all of this is protecting a rebel250, I think most will move on to an easier and more valuable target.

My friends bike got stolen, usually what happens is that they cut the lock and start the bike. Thus, after experiencing this, I started putting steel u-locks in the chain of my bike.

@@Jehty21 moral of the story, if someone wants your shit they are going to take it

[@perikliskagialaris1445]

A good video that does mention the two most common ways to bypass almost any locks with minimal resistance and no big or heavy tools. The first way is to carry the motorbike to a truck or a van. Simple and efficient method if there is no anchoring or a heavy duty hardened chain to a heavy unbreakable steady object. Traffic signs is nothing of the above... The other way thefs use is cold spray and brute force shortly after. Even the toughest steel becomes fragile in very cold temperatures. Therefore with a hammer and some penetration tool threads may break the moving parts of lock cylinder in pieces. Few manufacturers have in mind this method because it is almost impossible to avoid. As there is a key, there is a way to spray a lock. Therefore there some kind of taboo about this method and the big brands do not talk about it. A countermeasure is to have a lock design that even if the cylinder is destroyed or bend to pieces to prevent the lock to be opened. But this is really difficult or expensive or really heavy to be made... Therefore you find almost no company claims about resistance to cold spray. Actually I know only one less known Spanish company with some of its locks having the French standard SRA and cold spray resistance... The best method to protect your bike is to hide it and have it secured in private parking.l well locked with hardened heavy chain and a good disk lock with loud alarm. Even better if there is a GPS antitheft device. Although if you have some expensive bike and the thief targeted yours instead of others less secured in the streets, the only thing you can do is to buy time: Time the thief has to spend therefore a bigger risk for him to be arrested.

[@jimjimbobable]

Great video. Personally, I've found the Abus Granit Detecto 8008 to be an incredible piece of kit. The combination of alarm and sturdy yet compact (vs a chain) lock to be an extremely versatile piece of kit. I had used an Abus detecto 8077 and this saved my bike it was attacked with a sledge hammer and chisel and didn't break before I could get out of bed and confront the thieves... in my underwear in January. The lock never worked properly again but it saved my bike, I think the design of the 8008 is much smarter with its integrated locking bolt, and would be a big enough challenge any thief to go for a different bike.

[@3llo0H]

Where do you come from my friend? London?

[@afsoc4629]

Depending on the bike and brake disc a puck lock would work great. Most can be keyed to include anti-pick pins, offer some of the best protection against grinding/cutoff discs, and without chain are pretty compact. They are what we used to secure our vans when I worked as a locksmith a while back.

[@Hunter_Bidens_Crackpipe_]

Cordless tools going full tilt get emptied in 15-20mins tops. So you'd be safe with 3 of those chains or 2 slightly bigger ones. Or, just get a gps/alarm that calls you on vibration.

[@misterthegeoff9767]

There's no such thing as completely safe. I lost my KTM 690 Duke with a 19mm Pragmasis chain on it as well as a couple of lighter 'deterrent' locks. The thieves in London carry enough spare batteries and cutting discs to cut through anything. Oh and the bike I had before the KTM, when the thieves failed to get through the chain, they just smashed up the bike with a hammer instead.

[@tims2050]

cutting through chain takes much less time than shown here. put a little tension on the chain so that it doesnt move around and you are through in under a minute.

[@CarloMario]

[@obiwanfisher537]

My friends motorcycle was stolen twice in 4 months. They just crry the thing away and then open it somewhere safe, or they just kick the locks until they break. You don't need snips or pick a lock, you just kick and twist it. Works very often. You need to secure your motorcycle TO an object, with a non kickable lock or position, and have an anti-theft sytem with gps and monitoring.

I think disc locks are pretty good. Whenever I hear about people having their bikes stolen (on forums and such on the internet), I ask them what sort of locks they had, and they never have disc locks. Cheap disc locks may be easy to defeat, but a quality one will stop most thieves. They won't stop professionals, but most of us don't have bikes that professionals would target. I have a disc lock and microdots on my bike. I'm wondering if I should get a chain too after watching this video, or will that be too inconvenient?

A 16mm or larger diameter strengthened chain (Pragmasis and Almax are the leading two) with round profile links (not square or hex), with a Squire SS65CS or Abloy PL362 padlock. This is the single toughest setup against all types of attack combined. It's horribly heavy, though. I tried riding around with my 1.5m 16mm setup. In the top box, it's so heavy it screws up the bike's balance. In a backpack, it's dangerously destabilising when you lean over. Slung over your shoulder, it absolutely destroys your collar bone. It's a fixed-location setup only!

[@WarbirdPhoenix]

The only thing I learned is that no matter what lock,if a thief really wants to steal something they'll get it.

[@steril18]

Well, you don't need to hang from the bolt cutters, just putting one end on the ground and leaning against the other cuts almost anything. That's why you need to have the chain as high off the ground as possible, to make it hard to use that kind of leverage. The cable locks are okay for chaining stuff (helmet etc) to your bike.
